DEMOCRAT presidential hopeful Joe Biden is facing charges over his role in stopping corruption investigations against his son in Ukraine after former top prosecutor lodged a criminal complaint against him.
Viktor Shokin had been leading investigations into gas and oil firm Burisma, where Hunter Biden was a director drawing around $50,000 (£38,000) a month, when he was sacked by then-Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko in April 2016.
Allegedly Mr Shokin’s firing happened under pressure from Joe Biden, who was US vice-president at the time.
Washington plays innocent bystander while pouring weapons and intelligence into Ukraine, just as it enables the Gaza genocide — but every US escalation leaves Ukraine weaker than the neutrality deal rejected in 2022, argue MEDEA BENJAMIN and NICOLAS JS DAVIES
